In War and Revolution, 2011
Ana Bilankov’s experimental-documentary video In War and Revolution (2011) investigates the personal and collective amnesia that occurred during political changes of the early 1990s in Croatia. Bilankov employs a structure of parallel editing and an interview with the author’s 97-year-old grandmother, who tries to remember her youth as a teacher during the anti-fascist movement during the World War II by looking at a photograph from the book The School in War and Revolution. The artist interviews the local intellectuals on the subject of removal of inappropriate books on ideological grounds from bookstores and libraries by the new Croatian government of the early 1990s.
